4) Our __47__ challenge was to keep the rock mixture __48__ enough.
47. A. next B. first C. past D. previous
48. A. cold B. wet C. loose D. clean
【題解：47. 答案為A項。短文前面提到第一個挑戰(zhàn)是發(fā)電的問題，那么接下來的挑戰(zhàn)就是如何保持溫度的問題。48. 答案為B項。從下文提到的灑水車等事情，我們可以判斷出這兒應(yīng)該是“保持濕度”的語意?！?br> 5) … Still others faced the storm bravely, walking miles to get to work.
I __40__ to be one of people on the way to work that morning. I went from subway line to subway line only to find that most __41__ had stopped. After making my way through crowds of people, I finally found a subway line that was __43__....
40. A. used B. promised C. deserved D. happened
41. A. practice B. routine C. process D. service
…
43. A. operating B. cycling C. turning D. rushing
【40. D項。從前面一句話和本句中one of people可知，作者當(dāng)天上午碰巧也是去上班的人之一；41. D項。從上下文可知，由于風(fēng)暴大部分地鐵線路停運，所以唯有service符合題意；43. A項。從上下文的語境中我們可知道作者最后找到有一條地鐵線還在營業(yè)，operating本身含有“營業(yè)的”意思，相當(dāng)于be on service?！?br> 6) After the birth of my second child, I got a job at a restaurant. Having worked with an experienced __36__ for a few days, I was __37__ to wait tables on my own. All went __38__ that first week
36. A. manager B. assistant C. cook D. waitress
37. A. promised B. invited C. allowed D. advised
38. A. well B. quickly C. safely D. wrong
【36. D項。根據(jù)下文“I was allowed to wait tables on my own”可以判斷，作者是和有經(jīng)驗的女侍者一起工作了幾天；37. C項。從上下文可知，幾天后作者被允許單獨做餐飲招待服務(wù)了；38. A項。有下文可以判斷出，她的第一周工作非常順手，沒出意外?！?br> 應(yīng)試技巧二：語法結(jié)構(gòu)法: 高考完形填空題基本都是在語境中考查考生對語法知識的掌握程度，單純考查這類題很少。而在完形填空題中考察語法項目的主要是動詞的各種時態(tài)、語態(tài)和語氣、謂語和非謂語形式等。所以這類題需要考生有較為扎實的語法基礎(chǔ)知識，能夠從句式的結(jié)構(gòu)上辨別出須填相關(guān)的關(guān)聯(lián)詞、連詞、副詞、形容詞或相應(yīng)的動詞，當(dāng)然還要考慮到主謂一致的關(guān)系等語法知識要點。不過，切記解答這類題，必須是任何空格的語法正確的前提下，再考慮其他方面因素。
7) When it was 5:00pm, I was ready to go home. I was about to turn off my computer __49__ I received an email from Garth, my Director.
A. while B. when C. where D. after
【49. B項，這兒when的意思是just at the moment， 與前面的when意思不一樣，A項的while無此意，D項的after不符合行為交互邏輯，C項完全是錯誤的?！?br> 8) “I have been a soloist for over ten years. __53__ the doctor thought I was totally deaf, it didn’t __54__ that my passion couldn’t be realized.
9）In particular, there was (and perhaps still is) a belief in fairies. Not all of these __21__ are the friendly, people-loving characters that appear in Disney films, and in some folk-tales they are __22__ and cause much human suffering.
21. A. babies B. believes C. fairies D. supermen
22. A. powerful B. cruel C. frightened D. extraordinary
10）On August 26, 1999, New York City was struck by a terrible rainstorm. The rain caused the streets to __36__ and the subway system almost came to a stop.
36. A. break B. flood C. sink D. crash
【36. B項，異形近義詞的復(fù)現(xiàn)】
11）Garth’s email was short, but I learned more from that __52__ message than I ever did from a textbook.
12) Telling him that he no longer needed to enjoy them but I still needed to write them, I __28__ until the day he graduated.
28. A. held up B. gave up C. followed D. continued
【28. D項。由句意可知，“盡管兒子不愿意再收到我的字條，但是我依然堅持寫到他畢業(yè)為止。”這道題實際上是一道固定搭配題，其結(jié)構(gòu)為not…until，但句中沒有否定副詞not，再則，若A、B兩項短語用于這一結(jié)構(gòu)中須與not連用，故不合題意；C項的followed應(yīng)為及物動詞，后面需加賓語方可，再則followed在此有歧義，也不合題意，由于continue是延續(xù)性動詞，所以，無需否定副詞，在這一固定搭配中只有瞬間動詞才與not連用?！?br> 13) He had spent those years well, graduating from college, __30__ two internships(實習(xí)) in Washington, D.C, and finally, becoming a technical assistant in Sacramento.
30. A. organizing B. planning C. comparing D. completing

40. A.Therefore B. However C. Otherwise D. Finally
15) He had spent those years well, graduating from college, completing two internships(實習(xí)) in Washington, D.C, and __31__, becoming a technical assistant in Sacramento.
31. A. hopefully B. finally C. particularly D. certainly
